The Jammu and Kashmir Social Youth Forum has said that the Indian authorities have been subjecting hundreds of Kashmiris including children, youth, women and the elderly to torture in jails, in Indian Occupied Kashmir.
The Chairman of Social Youth Forum, Umer Aadil Dar, in a statement issued in Srinagar, said that the determination of the people and their voice for freedom could not be suppressed by keeping Hurriyat leaders in illegal detention, Kashmir Media Service reported. He added that when the whole world was going through the deadly coronavirus, keeping Kashmiri political detainees in jails was the worst form of human rights violation. He said that the detainees were being deprived of basic healthcare facilities and were lodged in solitary cells.
Umer Aadil Dar demanded immediate release of all political detainees including Hurriyat leaders, Raja Mejrajuddin Kalwaal, Ayaz Akber, Altaf Ahmad Shah, Pir Saifullah, Aasiya Andrabi, Fahmeeda Sofi, Nahida Nasreen and Shabbir Ahmad Shah languishing in Indian jails. Meanwhile, the Jammu and Kashmir Youth Social Forum, today, started a massive and emergency drive and visited major hospitals in Srinagar and other parts of the valley.—KMS
